Daley Ranch.

I feel like I've said this a bunch of times, but this might be our favorite hike ever. That's saying a lot for us, since these are the views we're used to:

But we went to Daley Ranch on Sunday, and it was totally hidden away in the most unexpected place. And it was beautiful! I totally felt like we were somewhere else entirely. We started on the Farm House Trail which is really easy and pleasant. There's a historic ranch house and little ponds and creeks and it's so peaceful.

Then we decided to hike Boulder Loop for a workout. That trail is no joke! I don't know if I wasn't prepared for it or what, but it kicked my butt!

This is why it's called Boulder Loop.

So maybe the view from the top isn't quite as dramatic as our Hawaii hikes, but it's still gorgeous nonetheless.

We liked it so much, we took the trail map and we plan on hiking all the trails and highlighting and dating what we've completed so far... and we plan to complete them all! If you're local, we definitely recommend this hike too. We already have a hiking spot picked out for this weekend but I can't wait to go back!

  1. I knew the first three photos were taken in Hawaii. Reminds me of the beautiful views from Diamond Head :). I miss hiking. It's too cold out here to go hiking...maybe this spring or summer.
